Book Excerpt: 'America's Right Turn'
|
Below is an excerpt from America's Right Turn: How Conservatives Used New and Alternative Media to Take Power by Richard A. Viguerie and David Franke. How did conservatives reach today's level of influence? Our primary purpose in writing this book has been to tell the story -- in its entirety for the first time -- of how the conservative movement came to power by utilizing new and alternative media. Our secondary purpose is to use what we've learned to predict, as much as possible, the future of the ongoing conservative-versus-liberal power struggle. First then, let's review the historical lessons we've presented in the past pages. Our story began in 1955, in an era of liberal hegemony over America (Chapter 4). Liberal gatekeepers at the most influential newspapers and magazines, as well as the three television networks, decided what was news and what wasn't. A tone of faux objectivity disguised what was in reality elitist control of the nation's political discourse. Put together all the influential media, we concluded, and you get a score of something like liberals 95, conservatives 5. Or 97/3. That's the sort of monopoly enjoyed by Pravda in its Soviet heyday. At the same time the United States was pretty evenly divided between "conservatives" and "liberals," as we use these terms today. This chasm between the conservatism of the American people and the liberalism of America's media would fuel the resentment conservatives feel against the liberal media to this day. And because the traditional media were closed to them, conservatives had no choice but to develop their own media. We examined the effects of each of the new media as they unfolded in history. Under-the-radar publications, books, and networks. We chose to start our story in 1955 because that's the year National Review was founded (Chapter 5). The editors of National Review taught its audience on the Right to think of themselves as a movement and to adopt a longterm strategic outlook. (The fact that a number of its editors were ex-communists helps to explain this proactive mindset.) And National Review's founder and editor in chief, William F. Buckley Jr., became the first media superstar of the new movement. It is no exaggeration to say there wouldn't be a Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity today without the trailblazing work of Bill Buckley. Over the next decade the movement grew politically and in 1964 secured the nomination of Barry Goldwater as the GOP presidential candidate (Chapter 6). This was a feat made possible by alternative Media -- National Review, Human Events, and all the other under-the-radar periodicals, as well as riveting paperback tracts that sold in the millions without ever appearing on the New York Times bestseller list. Thanks to this underground media network ("underground" because the liberal establishment media chose to ignore it, in hopes of crushing it), grassroots political networks were formed, making the Goldwater campaign the most broadly based presidential drive to that date. At the same time, those networks were no match for the fierce public assaults mounted by the liberal political and media establishments. The result was electoral disaster -- but also the beginnings of a new, improved movement, fueled by a new secret weapon. Political direct mail. Liberals thought they had exterminated the threat from the Right, but, once again out of the spotlight, conservatives continued to organize, proselytize, and search for ways to bypass the liberal stranglehold on the mass media. When they found a way, the liberals didn't take it seriously until it was too late. The conservatives' new secret weapon was political direct mail. Direct mail was and is the second largest type of advertising in the commercial world, but politicians had only experimented with it intermittently. Richard Viguerie, coauthor of this book, saw it, however, as a way to build a mass movement (Chapter 7), and he had the field pretty much to himself from 1965 into the 1970s. The U.S. mail quickly became the principal method of communication for conservatives. Leading the way for the other alternative media to follow, direct mail gave conservatives these advantages: • A way to bypass the liberal gatekeepers of the mass media by taking the conservative message directly to the individual conservative's mailbox, without distortion. • A way to find, identify, and activate millions of concerned citizens, adding them to the conservative roster and giving conservatives a voice in setting the nation's political agenda. • Freedom from the restrictions imposed by the Republican political hierarchy, enabling conservatives to become an independent, vibrant force. • Freedom from dependence on the big corporations that had traditionally financed GOP and Democratic politics (and expected to be paid back with favors). • A way to make fence-straddling Washington politicians more accountable to their conservative grassroots constituents. • And a way to bring a conser

Updated: NPR's Two-Ways: A Practice That Should Be Reconsidered
|
Every so often, another news organization will break a story that NPR isn't able to match by air-time. So an NPR news show invites the reporter who did the story to talk on air about the piece. It's known as a "two-way." The journalist is paid about $100 or $150 depending on the show. It's an unusual practice. You'd never find the Washington Post using a New York Times reporter to tell the news to Post readers. Nor would any television network do this. It's hard to imagine NBC interviewing ABC's Brian Ross about an investigative scoop. But NPR has done two-ways with journalists from other news organizations for decades. The practice started in the early 1970s when NPR was a fledgling news operation and didn't have nearly the reporter power it has today. "When a story happens with another newspaper or broadcaster, we try to match the story," said Christopher Turpin, All Things Considered's executive producer. "But given our tight 4 p.m. deadline, that can be a challenge and so we often go to the reporters who broke the story. We're the original aggregator. We have no problem with showcasing great work done by other organizations." While this kind of two-way largely works well, it also has the potential of backfiring. That happened recently when ATC host Michele Norris interviewed Wall Street Journal reporter Mike Ramsey about his July 14 story on the latest news about Toyota's problems. Read More Ramsey's story – based on anonymous sources – discussed early findings from data recorders in Toyota cars involved in accidents. The findings, wrote Ramsey, showed those accidents were caused by driver error and not by sudden acceleration problems with the vehicles. The ATC interview, which gave some highlights from Ramsey's story, brought a quick complaint from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is investigating 3,000 complaints alleging unintended acceleration in Toyotas since 2000. Half came after Toyota's mass car recall last October. "The Journal story read like it was official government data. It wasn't," Olivia Alair, NHSTA's press secretary told me. In the ATC interview, Ramsey told Norris "several dozen" incidents "were found to have the brake not depressed and the accelerator wide open." In other words, the drivers in these cases appeared to have hit the accelerator, rather than the brake, and must have caused what the drivers claimed was sudden, unintended acceleration. NHTSA and Toyota each have access to the same data but are independently analyzing it. The government's findings are not due for a few months. The Journal story relied on "people familiar with the findings." We don't know if that's Toyota, someone from NHTSA or others. Toyota has the most to gain by making these findings public. "In reality, the Journal used unnamed sources that purport to know what NHTSA has found," said Alair. "We can't confirm anything in their report because our investigation is continuing. We weren't contacted by NPR. They just interviewed the guy who did the story. From our position, his story was inaccurate. Had we been contacted by NPR we would have made our concerns known and made it clear his story isn't government data." But that's not what you would learn from ATC's interview. Here's how the two-way 'intro' began: MICHELE NORRIS: Now, an update on the investigation into the rash of Toyota and Lexus accidents that were initially blamed on sudden acceleration problems. After analyzing dozens of data recorders in Toyota vehicles, U.S. safety regulators have found that some drivers who claimed their car suddenly surged out of control may have mistakenly floored the accelerator when they meant to hit the brakes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's findings are preliminary, and they do not clear the car maker. That isn't quite accurate. Hearing this, a listener would reasonably assume that the information definitely came from the government, particularly the statements: "U.S. safety regulators have found . . ." and "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's findings are preliminary, and they do not clear the car maker." Listeners were not told, and should have been, that the information in the interview came from anonymous sources. Contrary to the impression given by the Journal story and the NPR interview, NTHSA has drawn no conclusions and released no data, said Alair. It would have been better for ATC to frame the story as: This is what we know, and this is what we don't know. Then the listener can decide. But if it's presented as government data, when in fact it's not, that hurts NPR's credibility. NPR should have called NHTSA. The basic problem is the Wall Street Journal story was thinly sourced, and therefore, so was NPR's. [The Journal takes issue with this statement. See editor's note below.] But even the Journal's story had more context and details than what ATC offered. "Whenever you do a radio interview, you are essentially condensing down drast

What Is NPR's New 'It's All Politics' Blog About?
|
Well, I've officially switched my NPR duties from NPR's The Two-Way news blog for the time being to writing for this new It's All Politics blog so let's get down to business. Just a few words about what we plan on doing here. Our goal is to cover and analyze political news from around the nation and the policies that affect politics. We plan on doing so all the while maintaining the high journalistic standards those who know NPR have come to rely on and appreciate. That means in a world of superheated partisan blogs, we'll be playing it about as straight as sentient beings can. Read More If you want your politics and policy news and analysis with a heavy dose of political bias that conforms to your unshakable world view, we likely won't be the place for you. Does that mean we're completely without bias. Hardly. That's like someone being without sin. We all have biases. But after watching both Republicans and Democrats up close for many years, many journalists likely share my opinion that neither major party has cornered the market on common sense, wisdom, patriotism or integrity. That would probably be our strongest bias. One more thing. We'd like to encourage intelligent discussion about politics and policy. We're optimistic enough to believe that the phrase "intelligent discussion about politics and policy" isn't oxymoronic in today's political climate. We'll see how that goes. Next, a post on what we and the rest of the politics watchers will be looking for in tonight's primaries.

Study: Newspapers Cater to Readers' Politics
|
A new study by two University of Chicago economists asserts that newspapers slant their coverage to conform with the prevailing political views of their readers. The researchers compared story language they identified as politically loaded with voting patterns and campaign contributions made within a newspaper's circulation area. Their conclusion: slanted coverage can be good business. RENEE MONTAGNE, host: People who worry about bias in the news media may need to look in the mirror. Two economists from the University of Chicago studied the political language in more than 400 daily newspapers and found most are offering readers pretty much what they want. NPR's Scott Horsley reports. SCOTT HORSLEY: In politics and in newspapers, language matters. And it sometimes seems as if different parties and different papers each have their own dialect. Two University of Chicago economists combed through the congressional record to find the most politically loaded language. Jesse Shapiro says they were looking for phrases used by lawmakers on one side of the aisle and not the other. Professor JESSE SHAPIRO (Economist, University of Chicago): A great example is death tax is used much more often by Republicans than Democrats, not surprisingly. Tax cut for the wealthiest tend to be used much more often by Democrats. HORSLEY: Likewise, Republicans talk about the war on terror, while Democrats talk about the war in Iraq. The economists isolated 1,000 of these partisan phrases, then used them to rank more than 400 daily newspapers on what they called their slant index. Slant in this case does not mean distortion, but just whether a newspaper's choice of language is more like the Democrats or the Republicans. Shapiro and his colleague then asked what sort of slant each newspaper would adopt, given the politics of its local market, if it wanted to sell the most papers. Prof. SHAPIRO: The closer the newspaper gets to the ideological position of the consumer, the more readership the newspaper will get. Knowing that allows us to make a guess about if we were this newspaper and all we wanted to do was maximize circulation, where would we locate on this left/right political spectrum. HORSLEY: What they found is that newspapers' actual slant is close to the slant that sells the most papers. In fact, economist Matthew Jensco(ph) says the politics of consumers in a given community turns out to be a better predictor of the local newspaper's slant than, say, the politics of the newspaper's owner. What's more, owners with papers in more than one city seem to be pretty flexible about tailoring slant to meet the local demand. Mr. MATTHEW JENSCO (Economist): The New York Times, for example, owns not only The New York Times and the Boston Globe, but also newspapers in places like South Carolina and Alabama. And the paper The New York Times owns in South Carolina doesn't look very different from the average newspaper in South Carolina. HORSLEY: The economists don't argue exactly how newspaper language is shaped. But Jensco says the effect is much like any other marketer that tries to give customers what they want. Mr. JENSCO: A reaction we sometimes get from economists is something like, well, of course, newspapers are in the business of selling newspapers and, not surprisingly, newspapers are making choices about their content in order to satisfy what their readers want. HORSLEY: News purists, however, might take issue with that. Bob Steele, who teaches journalistic values at the Poynter Institute, says while newspapers are a business, he doubts they're choosing language to reflect their readers' beliefs. Dr. BOB STEELE (Journalism, Poynter Institute): The best of journalism challenges the public. The best of journalism makes the readers, the listeners, the viewers, take a step back and question their own beliefs. And the best of journalism provokes the public. HORSLEY: David Zeeck, who heads the American Society of Newspaper Editors, also questions the economists' conclusion about what's behind newspapers' slant. Zeeck says even if editors did set out to match the politics of their readers, the typical newsroom isn't organized enough to do that. Scott Horsley, NPR News, San Diego.

What percentage of the Earth's heat is derived from the Sun's infrared light?
|
Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation"[citation needed], but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them. Infrared light from the Sun accounts for 49% of the heating of Earth, with the rest being caused by visible light that is absorbed then re-radiated at longer wavelengths. Visible light or ultraviolet-emitting lasers can char paper and incandescently hot objects emit visible radiation. Objects at room temperature will emit radiation concentrated mostly in the 8 to 25 µm band, but this is not distinct from the emission of visible light by incandescent objects and ultraviolet by even hotter objects (see black body and Wien's displacement law).

On 17 November 1989, The Sun headlined a page 2 news story titled "STRAIGHT SEX CANNOT GIVE YOU AIDS – OFFICIAL." The Sun favourably cited the opinions of Lord Kilbracken, a member of the All Parliamentary Group on AIDS. Lord Kilbracken said that only one person out of the 2,372 individuals with HIV/AIDS mentioned in a specific Department of Health report was not a member of a "high risk group", such as homosexuals and recreational drug users. The Sun also ran an editorial further arguing that "At last the truth can be told... the risk of catching AIDS if you are heterosexual is "statistically invisible". In other words, impossible. So now we know – everything else is homosexual propaganda." Although many other British press services covered Lord Kilbracken's public comments, none of them made the argument that the Sun did in its editorial and none of them presented Lord Kilbracken's ideas without context or criticism.

When did London host its first Summer Olympics?
|
London was the world's largest city from about 1831 to 1925. London's overcrowded conditions led to cholera epidemics, claiming 14,000 lives in 1848, and 6,000 in 1866. Rising traffic congestion led to the creation of the world's first local urban rail network. The Metropolitan Board of Works oversaw infrastructure expansion in the capital and some of the surrounding counties; it was abolished in 1889 when the London County Council was created out of those areas of the counties surrounding the capital. London was bombed by the Germans during the First World War while during the Second World War, the Blitz and other bombings by the German Luftwaffe, killed over 30,000 Londoners and destroyed large tracts of housing and other buildings across the city. Immediately after the war, the 1948 Summer Olympics were held at the original Wembley Stadium, at a time when London had barely recovered from the war.

I was staying in a small bed and breakfast run by a wonderful woman called Katherine and it didn't take long before I started feeling like I was part of the neighbourhood.
Of course, there was an international football tournament going on but people were also getting on with their regular lives.
There were school children running up the street getting ready for school, people getting their wares together to go to the market, people washing their taxi's and vehicles getting ready to go about their business.
Just being there and engaging with people was a remarkable experience. It's not just about their reaction to the fact that they are hosting a big football tournament but what is really going on in their lives.
I met some fascinating individuals. Almost everyone in South Africa has a story that starts in the past and moves into the present. There is so much history there, especially in Soweto, which still is very much the epicentre of South African politics.
It is the only place where you find Nelson Mandela's house up one street, and Desmond Tutu's house around the corner while just over the hill, that's where Winnie Mandela lives.
We were doing a broadcast one day out of a fast food restaurant and we noticed Desmond Tutu taking a walk. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. Soweto is a fascinating place with wonderful people, I would go back in a minute.

The family of former US President Barack Obama has purchased the home they had been renting in Washington DC.
|
The nine-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom stone mansion in the upmarket Kalorama neighbourhood was sold for $8.1m (£6.2m), property records indicate.
The Obamas are remaining in Washington until their youngest daughter, 15-year-old Sasha, finishes high school.
The former first couple have been travelling the world since departing the White House in January.
Washington neighbourhood welcomes Obamas
Mr Obama's spokesman, Kevin Lewis, confirmed the sale saying: "Given that President and Mrs Obama will be in Washington for at least another two and a half years, it made sense for them to buy a home rather than continuing to rent the property."
Concrete barriers restrict public access to the 8,300 sq ft (770 sq metre) home, which is protected round the clock by Secret Service officers.
The Obamas - who still own a home in Chicago - acquired their latest property from former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart, who purchased it in 2014 for $5.3m.
The home is not far from the $23m home owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post newspaper.
Also in the neighbourhood are US First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is another Kalorama resident - he bought a $5.6m house in February.

Neither of those issues are covered in the corporate US media, so most people have no idea about them, which is what the powers that be want. \n\nTalking about issues such as these is generally bad for business, that is to say, people change the channel, and the advertisers lose money.\n\nThus, it doesn't get talked about. \n\nNow back to your regularly scheduled program about Natalie Halloway.

Strict rules mean the BBC, like other broadcasters, isn't allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls are open.
|
In all national elections, the BBC is legally required both by its own charter and electoral law to adopt a code of practice.
The basic principle behind this is the need for due impartiality of political coverage, as set out in the agreement accompanying the BBC Charter.
This requires the BBC over time to "give due weight and prominence to all the main strands of argument and to all the main parties."
So, on polling day specifically, the BBC (like other broadcasters, though they are covered by the Ofcom code rather than a charter) doesn't report on any of the election campaigns from 00.30 until polls close at 22.00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk.
However, online sites will not have to remove archived reports.
Coverage will be restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations or the weather.
Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign - or other controversial matters relating to the election - must not be covered on polling day, so the BBC's output cannot be seen as influencing the ballot while the polls are open.
No opinion poll on any issue relating to politics or the election can be published until after the polls have closed.
Whilst the polls are open, it is a criminal offence to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in that election.

Access to the BBC's English-language website has been blocked across China, the corporation has said.
|
BBC Global News director Peter Horrocks said it appeared to be "deliberate censorship", adding that the BBC was complaining to the authorities.
Other major news websites were functioning as usual, and the reason for the blackout remained unclear.
Since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the BBC's English-language site has been generally available.
However, other BBC services including its Chinese-language news website has been blocked largely since it was launched.
BBC World TV - as with all overseas broadcasters - suffers intermittent blackouts particularly when reporting China stories.
Mr Horrocks said: "The BBC provides impartial, trusted news to millions of people around the world, and attempts to censor our news services show just how important it is to get our accurate information to them."
The last time the BBC's English-language website was disrupted was during the corporation's coverage of activist Chen Guangcheng's escape from house arrest in April 2012.

Cornwall Live said its journalists were told they could not broadcast the PM's visit via Facebook Live.
The publication, owned by Trinity Mirror, took to social media to vent its frustrations.
The Conservatives said the reporters' "last minute" request to film had "not been possible" because a pooled resource had already been agreed.
Reporters and broadcasters are traditionally given a pooled resource for video, stills and text at such events.
Read more on this story and others from Cornwall
Cornwall Live sent two reporters and a photographer to cover the prime minister's visit to Helston.
The reporters published a photo of the room they were held in while the PM was interviewed by other media.
Editor Jacqui Merrington said they were "a lot more" than a local newspaper.
"When we arrived... we were told we were not allowed to film anything because we were invited as print media, which seems a bit 20th Century really."
She added: "We are digital media and that is the case for most local media nowadays and to be restricted on that basis seems very archaic."
A spokesman for the Conservatives said Cornwall Live only made a request to film on the morning of the visit.
"One media organisation's last minute request to add a camera to a pre-arranged pool of broadcast cameras was not possible this morning.
"The organisation's journalists did interview the prime minister and their photographer accompanied [her] on a factory tour."

how journalists cover an event

Reporting on events is one of the things I and most of the other journalists attending this conferencedo for a living. Assignment editors are the ones that tell us which events to cover because theyâre the ones paying us. Itâs unbelievably rude to make a request to cover the event as part of an invitation.et me also say to all PR firms around the world, we all know you want us to cover your event and your client. It never needs to be said, especially three times in a 100-word invitation. At least they didnât extend an invitation and then revoke it like Pepcom did to me at CES.

#NPRreads: 3 Stories That Go Behind The Headlines
|
#NPRreads is a weekly feature on Twitter and on The Two-Way. The premise is simple: Correspondents, editors and producers from our newsroom share the pieces that have kept them reading, using the #NPRreads hashtag. Each weekend, we highlight some of the best stories. From Digital Editor Joe Ruiz: I remember watching Paula Broadwell during her January 2012 appearance on "The Daily Show" to promote her biography of Gen. David Petraeus. I enjoyed the interview and made a note to read the book. I never did. The next time I thought about it was when news broke of the relationship she had with the general and the inevitable fallout. But this story isn't about the incident, but more the aftermath and its ingrained unfair treatment of Broadwell, and of women in similar situations. It also speaks to her efforts to fight unfair portrayals of women in the media. And so the public inquisition into the "mistress" began, with everything from her fitness acumen ... to her body fat (13 percent) to her "usually tight shirts and pants" scrutinized. She was called, by a senior military source, "a shameless self-promoting prom queen" who "got her claws" into him. She was "curvaceous," with "expressive green eyes." ... Mr. Petraeus, meanwhile, was described by former aides as "the consummate gentleman and family man." ... When he resigned, the president offered his prayers for the general and his wife; the Petraeus family, friends lamented in the news media, would get through this. From News Desk Editor Barbara Campbell: Zoos have tried to set up their facilities in a way that heads off the heartbreaking choice the Cincinnati Zoo made last weekend – shooting to death a healthy young gorilla to save a small child who fell into the enclosure. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports about "landing zones" for humans who fall in, emergency teams on call, and indoor vantage points where glass protects the animals from their fans and vice versa. The Associated Press also has a good look at the emergency response experts. From Two-Way Writer Bill Chappell: Journalism's perennially imminent demise often generates two things: buzzwords (as in: "Let's reimagine our play in the content delivery space") and stories that examine how traditional media (including NPR) might survive the era of digital disruption. Many essays on news companies' strategies rely on anonymous sources. It's rare to get an inside look at the thinking of a place like Tribune Publishing, the Chicago media company that announced ambitious changes this week — along with an odd new name: "tronc." The change prompted both head-scratching and snarky bemusement, particularly on Twitter, where you could say that when life handed them tronc, tweeters attempted to make the best troncade they could. Along with giving some of the business background to the decision, Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple writes that the tronc release brings us "perhaps the most concentrated mess of buzzwords that digital publishing has ever seen, and that's some feat."

Reports Say H.P. Relied on Its Own Boston Security Unit
|
Hewlett-PackardÂs investigation into news leaks is said to have relied on an arm of the companyÂs own security force based in Boston.
|
A corporation is not the person the legal fiction makes it so much as a collection of different interests. I was reminded of this fact a couple of weeks ago when I went shopping for a laptop. Remembering that Hewlett-Packard almost singlehandedly solved the basic problem of laser printer support for GNU/Linux, I ended up buying one of the company's laptops. Consumer reports, price, and HP's listing as one of the greener hardware manufacturers according to Greenpeace also affected my decision, but my impression of HP as a free software friendly company was a large criteria.

(InfoWorld) - Looking to extend its RSA division's authentication product line, EMC has purchased identity verification services vendor Verid. EMC had been selling Verid's services as part of its Adaptive Authentication suite since September of last year, but with the acquisition the company can now offer better integration with the RSA product line, said Marc Gaffan, director of product marketing at RSA. And that will help businesses that use RSA technology, he said. "We can make the acquisition of new customers more seamless and more rapid," he said. Verid's service is what is known as a "knowledge-based authentication" product. It can search public records for difficult-to-answer questions that can be used to establish the identity of a user. "When they want to vet your identity, they'll ask you, for example, what was the make of your first car? Where did you live between 1990 and 1993," Gaffan said. EMC will continue to sell Verid's services as stand-alone products, but in about a year, they will also be integrated into the RSA eFraudNetwork information-sharing community, he added. Founded in 1999, Verid has a staff of about 40 and is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Terms of the acquisition, which was finalized on June 1, were not disclosed.
